Using RetroShare with i2pd Using RetroShare with i2pd
========================== ==========================
RetroShare is a rich set of P2P applications, which can work on top of anonymous I2P network.
Quoting [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RetroShare):
Retroshare is I2P capable. > RetroShare is open source software for encrypted filesharing, serverless email, instant messaging, online chat, and BBS, based on a friend-to-friend network built on GNU Privacy Guard (GPG).
Their [configuration instructions](https://retroshare.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/i2p-hidden-rs-node/) for Java I2P.
In order to do it for i2pd, you must create a new server tunnels in tunnels.conf like this
[Retroshare] In order to make RetroShare work with i2pd, you need to create a new server tunnel in [tunnels.conf](../user-guide/tunnels.md) like this:
[retroshare]
type=server type=server
host=127.0.0.1 host=127.0.0.1
port="port you wish to use" port=10123 # pick random port of your choice
keys=retroshare.dat keys=retroshare.dat
You can specify [more options](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/wiki/tunnels.conf) Make sure that Socks proxy is enabled, it listens at ``127.0.0.1:4447`` by default. If not, look at [i2pd.conf documentation](../user-guide/configuration.md).
Also keep SOCKS proxy enabled. It's enabled by default.
Restart i2pd with new configuration.
Find .b32.i2p address of your RetroShare node.
Go to webconsole -> [I2P tunnels page](http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels). Look for Sever tunnels and you will see address like \<long random string\>.b32.i2p next to "retroshare".
Start i2pd with this new tunnels, and get it's .b32.i2p address from http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels. Now when everything is prepared, you can run RetroShare itself and create a new profile.
Now you are ready to create hidden profile for Retroshare. Mark it as **hidden** and enter your **.b32.i2p address** and **port** you have specified at tunnels.conf.
Mark it as hidden and enter your .b32.i2p and port you specified for tunnel.
